clod of earth, lump of soil; hardened dirt
This noun refers to clods or lumps of earth, the hard chunks of soil that form when ground is dry or compacted. Job 38:38 describes clods clinging together when God pours rain, causing dust to become muddy mass. Job 21:33 speaks poetically of 'the clods of the valley' being sweet to the deceased—a euphemism for burial and return to earth. The term evokes agricultural imagery, where breaking up clods was necessary for planting. These earthen lumps symbolize both the dust of mortality and the physical ground humanity tills.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Spanish 'terrones' and English 'clods' capture the same earthy lumps. Both Job passages reference clods in death-related contexts—the clods of the valley that cover the dead (21:33) and clods joining together under rainfall (38:38). The agricultural imagery grounds these metaphysical reflections in physical reality. Clods represent earth in its most basic, unpretentious form—the soil that receives the dead and responds to divine watering. 2×
